Low Carb Burgers
This is the quickest and easiest of low carb meals. The secret here is getting really good beef. Don't buy that ground chuck if you don't have to. Go for something grass-fed and 80/20. Fat is flavor - don't be scared of it!
Equipment
- Prep bowl
- Skillet
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 tbsp Ghee or butter
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tbsp Himalayan pink salt
- ½ tbsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Season your ground beef with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Feel free to add your own flavors, too! Cayenne and cumin have a great smoky flavor. Oregano and parsley give a Mediterranean feel to your burgers!
- Separate the meat into 4 equal portions, and press out flat. Remember - the flatter your can get them, the less time they will take to cook and they won't bunch up into weird oval balls in the pan.
- Heat the ghee or butter in the skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- When the ghee or butter is hot, place one of the flattened patties in the pan (two if you can fit them) and cook until browned, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the burger and cook for another 1 - 2 minutes, depending on how well-done you want them.
- Remove to a plate and allow the burgers to rest for at least 3 minutes before eating.
